BREAK STONE

Year of production2016

The overwhelming and primitive power of the forces of nature inspired Giulio Cappellini to create the Break Stone tables and expand the iconic line of the company. Available in round and square shapes, the top is made of lava stone quarried from the slopes of Mount Etna, transmitting a unique tactile and visual sensation. The whole production process is a journey to the origins of the material: the top is first sent to an oven to reawake the lava stone and melt it back into magma, only then it's moulded into its new shape. The finishing is achieved by the fusion of lava with green, blue or maroon pigments and their natural vitrification. Base structure in black varnished steel.
